Dear [Apartment Community] Residents,

Winter is here, and many in our community need warm clothing and coats to stay comfortable during the colder months. That’s why we’re excited to launch the Mid-Willamette Valley Coat & Clothes Drive supporting Helping Hands Resources from January 1 through February 10.

Helping Hands is a Salem-based nonprofit that provides clothing, bedding, toys, and other essentials to people in need — all at no charge. Your donations go directly into the hands of individuals and families who rely on these resources every day. Helping Hands Resources

What to Donate:
• Winter coats & jackets
• Sweaters, hoodies & layers
• Warm pants, jeans & waterproof footwear
• Hats, gloves, scarves & socks
• Blankets or extra warm gear

Where to Donate:
Drop off your items at the leasing office during regular business hours.

Whether you donate one cozy layer or a bag full of winter gear, your contribution will help keep someone warm this winter. Thank you for supporting our community and Helping Hands!

Warmly,
The [Apartment Community] Team
